Nick Rekieta's Weeb Wars videos & livestreams - MULTIPLE SLURS

I'm seriously wondering what the hell Sabat said on a recording. Nick did seem to imply tomorrow's stream would be very relive to him. Unless Nick is just referring to him being the turd wrangler in charge of these speds.

It's not so much about the exact content from the audio. It's more that it's homophobic and something that Funimation allowed to occur, apparently didn't discipline anyone over and decided to keep around as a momento (along with apparently "worse" audio). None of that is good for Funimations case or public/Toei optics of them.

Toei's reaction will quite literally be "Why are these Faggots complaining because this Faggot called these other Faggots Faggots?" But in Japanese. And I'm so not joking about this. With the final conclusion "Stupid American Faggots!"

This is why the recording is bad. Because Sean saying offensive stuff WHILE IN CHARACTER may be breaching a contract that Toei specifically made them sign to keep them from doing that and Funimation can get in trouble for allowing it to happen because Toei is SUPER protective of their DBZ IP and they want absolutely NOTHING tarnishing it.

Wasn't there a VA that got into trouble over an answering machine recording?

Well the big question that I have right now is: Did funimation know about these recordings? Or was this just some guys fucking around on some audio equipment off hours? I'm mostly feeling blue balled with this stream and because of the build up. This was just a funny little leak, I was expecting some fucking corporate espionage, and I saw other people expecting audio regarding underaged fans. not worth the boomering and superchats to be honest. could have sat this one out.

I know it's just a preview and pretty tame. Hopefully something spicy comes out besides "faglol."

But imagine this...
You as the owner, investors, employees of Toei. Or potential client of Toei.

Funimation is billing employees/contractors to say slurs in a professional environment. And it was saved? Why?

How do you explain that one of your main characters is saying faggot on company time. "Do you support this?" If I sign my brand with you, will I get associated with this?

Anyone working with this brand will be branded as homophones etc etc.
People with tons of money don't want to lose money/leads/potential clients over shit like this.

It's harassing/'hate speech' which Funi has said specifically they absolutely will not tolerate as well.

They must be held to their own standard otherwise minorityalphabet groups will be unsafe IN THEIR OFFICES. oops...

YES.
It's a breach of contract for using a characters voice for anything they don't want you to use it for. It can even be as tight as not allowing you to use that voice ANYWHERE or for ANYTHING unless they say it's okay to.

It's a pile of nothing but the company probably has a stance about saying stuff like that at work, especially being recorded while in the booth.

I wouldn't say it's entirely nothing. I imagine after tomorrow, if there is much worse than this as Nick claims, that it can proverbially be a firestarter within the KV echo-chambers. It's really a matter of whether their mental gymnastics will allow them to ignore things that conflict with their "morals".

Well, Nick was alluding that this came from Funimation's servers

Toei and Funi are not going to like the fact that a voice of Goku has, in a very recognizable Goku voice, made homophobic slurs in an era of ultra-wokeness.
My bet is there's an unemployed Goku tomorrow.

Nah. Wait until someone makes a video of Goku saying it using DBZ / DBS footage.

And, as a journalistic endeavor, asks Toei for comment.

While I agree, I don't think it's that deep. It's literally just giving them a taste of their own medicine, to show them how exceptional this is. No one in their right mind would argue that Schemmel is actually homophobic, but he, and the other VAs, are not as squeaky clean and incapable of wrong-think as they enjoy pedaling.

I think I saw a twitter user quote. "Practice what you Preach." Yeah. That's something these dipshits can't do.

Toei will not give two shits. Nor will these see a problem with "Faggot". It's one of the two English words most of their staff probably know. The other word being "Fucking". Half of Asia thinks normal American speech resembles a Quentin Tarrantino movie.

I understand the implications of Schemmel's actions and yes, he's an enormous faggot. But this was fairly milked and not nearly as substantial once you take a look at the revelations of Soye and Sabat.

Again, like I've also been telling people who apparently don't know how to fucking pay attention: wait until tomorrow's stream before passing judgement about whether it was juicy enough.
I'm still excited because this could mean a lot of things and it can also be the end of a lot of things.
Maybe Funimation specifically.
Or maybe all the VAs who got caught.
